The new TR160Y dual-axis trunnion rotary table from Haas Automation puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop, the company claims, and its compact size provides greater mounting flexibility.
The TR160Y is designed to mount in the Y direction (front to back on the table) of a mid size vertical machining centre. At less than 635mm wide and 482mm deep, the TR160Y easily fits on one end of the machine's table, freeing up the remainder for additional fixtures or vices. The TR160Y has a 160mm T-slot platter and will swing parts up to 190mm diameter with. The maximum platter capacity is 37kg. The trunnion provides ±120° of tilt and 360° of rotation for full simultaneous 5-axis motion, or to position parts at almost any angle for machining. Like all Haas rotary tables, it can easily be removed when not needed.
Powerful brushless servomotors provide 150ft/lb of spindle torque on both axes of the TR160Y. Brake torque is 300ft/lb and 100ft/lb respectively, and speeds are 130°/second on the rotary axis and 100°/second on the tilt axis. The trunnion's precision ground platter of heat treated 4140 alloy steel has six standard T-slots equally spaced at 60° for easy fixturing. Three servo control configurations are available, making the TR160Y interfaceable with almost any brand of machine tool.
